Great Scott! A LittleBigPlanet 2 Beta user has used the game’s fabulous creation tools to recreate a level based off Back to the Future, featuring that geekiest of movie relics — the DeLorean time machine.

LittleBigPlanet 2, from darling developers Media Molecule, was originally suppose to launch in November 2010, yet was sadly pushed back to January 18, 2011. Nothing wrong with a little more time in the oven for a PlayStation 3 exclusive game, especially a game with such a powerful game creation platform and a better improved online community.

Plus it also helps to lessen the loss of such a highly anticipated title, when you allow your Beta users to show off its true potential. Which LittleBigPlanet 2 has done and given us such level masterpieces such as Pac-Man or After Burner — even other critically-acclaimed games, such as thatgamecompany’s Flower.

And while they all are impressively imaginative and cool, they personally just lack that certain memorable 1980’s movie spice – a certain four-wheeled creation that doesn’t need roads for where it’s going. Well, now thanks to PlayStation Network user Hymanator, we get just that.

Out of “the power of love” and using LittleBigPlanet 2’s virtual building blocks, Hymanator has made a splendid tribute to the Back to the Future trilogy with a full game level starring the DeLorean, undoubtly the coolest time machine ever fictionally made. (With Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure’s time-traveling phone booth a close second.)

Described as a DeLorean time-travel simulator, this LittleBigPlanet 2 level has you piloting Doc Brown’s famous machine (flux capacitor included) and traveling through Hill Valley in all 1985, 1955, and 2015 realities. But what kind of tribute to Back to the Future doesn’t have Marty McFly’s hoverboard, you say? Well fear not – Hymanator included that too! And yes, those things don’t work on water… unless you’ve got POWER!

It’s not everyday you see one video game being used to make another. Well, that is unless that one game is Little Big Planet, where that’s a pretty much ho-hum affair. Still, this Flower recreation in the Little Big Planet 2 Beta is simply mind-shattering ‘whoa.’

The game of Little Big Planet, by developer Media Molecule, is one of 2D platformer exploration and creation. Not made by the experienced minds of professional game makers, but by any average gamer through crafting every imaginable game level possible.

To think, all this power so easily attained by a PlayStation 3 console and a video game disc – oh, and a cute little cloth-woven avatar to helpfully guide you along your way. Such a wonderful warm fuzzy feeling, ahh.

Little Big Planet 2 is a firm continuation of such heart-felt ideals, and a whole lot more. The sequel expands on the original premise of creating your own side-scrolling levels, but now allowing you to make any potential game.

And when I say any game, I totally mean it. Seriously?! Yeah, seriously! In Little Big Planet 2 you can build a wide range of different game genre types, whether it be your standard 2D platformer, Japanese bullet-hell inspired scrolling-shooter, or a classic dungeon-crawling role playing game.

Now since the time when a small number of invites, for the Little Big Planet 2 beta, where given to a lucky minority, there have been a pouring of videos, specifically of what those privileged users have made.

Most of the videos have been some pretty awesome stuff; a mix of original ideas and also LBP2 takes on classic games such as Namco’s Pac-Man by TheFinalBurst. But the crown jewel, so far, has to be this in-game recreation of the PlayStation Network downloadable game Flower.

Called Sack Flower, and made by PSN user RAPHEAI, the video shows an incredible reconstruct of thatgamecompany’s critically acclaimed title of last year, blue skies and green fields, using the Little Big Planet 2 beta engine.

It even manages to pull-off Flower’s wind-controlling flower-blooming game play. Maybe it’s not all done too perfectly, but when you consider its being presented inside another game – personally that’s good enough to call it a day.

Fresh reports have just come in about our friend Sackboy from the Little Big Planet, who was apparently so bored of us playing around with him that it seems he just jumped out of the screen and had a blast for himself! It is reported that he just popped out of the game and straightaway headed to something that would give him a peace of mind, he just shot at the PS3 controller, took control over it and began playing some of his favorite games, shocking visuals of the incident have just been recovered and it seems that our friend is having a great time out there!

You might probably realize that all of this did not happen really and that everything stated above was just a mock up, but if you did actually fall for it then I guess that you are as dumb as a rock, but never mind lets get into the actual details of these shocking visuals, shall we? A fun seeking individual named Francesc Torres bought this cool Sackboy toy on eBay and then set it up like you see in the pictures, and it is quite clear that everyone likes it, not only our little friend Sackboy but also his adventurous outing complete with a Date with the PS3!

You can also check out more of Little Big Planet fun like the Gene Simmons Kiss Sackboy Doll or view Kratos the God Of War in his Sackboy Avatar.

I have always thought that Sackboy was cute but never in my life have I thought he would make me so hungry and actually look so appetizing as Bento box.

Sackboy was recreated by Anna The Red recently and became a Bento Lunchbox that seems too tasty to pass up. In his famous and worldwide stance, Sackboy from Little Big Planet is smiling, waving, and captures our hearts…I mean tummies. Almost as cute as the Spock Sackboy.

If you love Sackboy and are hungry as well, then check out these other appetizing creations: New Sackboy Cakes and the original and frosty Sackboy Cake.

How would you turn a topic that involves someone as cute as Sackboy dark and depressing? Well, you can dress him up in Left 4 Dead costume or you could turn him into one of the infected! These four pictures here show Sackie with all the four survivors and he seems to be infected himself! While the apocalyptic situation already seems to have gotten out of hand if one were to look at these pictures, it seems even more apocalyptic for us PS3 fans who still can’t play the awesome Left 4 Dead on our consoles.

It would be interesting to have all the great games available on other consoles on PS3 as well, so that we have the best of everything. Nevertheless, it is just lovely to see Sackie’s mouth dripping of some infected stuff and the rest of the survivors posing for a mug shot.

While I can’t really tell how the story concludes, I can only say that these pictures must encourage developers and guys at PS3 to get Left 4 Dead on PlayStation. Sackboy from Little Big Planet has definitely encouraged a lot of people to design costumes for him. The Vitruvian Sackboy is a take on Leonardo da Vinci’s famous drawing. You could also take a look at the Sackboy Costumes in Metal Gear Characters. Christmas might be far away, but Sackie in Santa Costume is totally hilarious!

Sackboy has been one of the most versatile characters till date. We have almost all kinds of characters being emulated on Sackboy and the coolest part is, he will still look cool whatever you decide to dress him up with. This time around, there is this awesome Boba Fett Sackboy who looks colorful enough to drive away all the good ones in Star Wars. There is certainly nothing mythical about Boba Fett Sackboy, unlike the real one in Star Wars. The face is too large for Boba Fett, but is just right for Sackboy.

Sackboy also has donned Stormtrooper’s costume and looks ready enough to launch an attack on whoever comes his way. However, I somehow do not want this Stormtrooper Sackboy to carry out the commands of Emperor Palpatine without any questions. Sackboy has a quality that is almost inimitable though he can don any character’s costume and still look the same awesome character that he has always been. Lexx Clark has created these awesome designs.

Perhaps, he was just not meant to be in a single and unitary costume dedicated for him, and he was meant to be as versatile as possible. If you were wondering what makes Sackboy so versatile and if it has got something to do with his innards, I suggest you take a look at What Sackboy is Made Of. If that grosses you out a lot, brighten your mood by checking out the Spock Sackboy. You also have the choice of playing “home” by bringing home Sackgirl.

The Sackboy character from Little Big Planet is taking the PS3 Fanbase and the rest of the world by storm. People are creating so many different Sackboy Costumes that are extremely creative and some are even inspirational. One PS3 Sackboy fan, Mediamolecule, has taken it to the next step and made a Sackboy Costume to wear and be proud of. It is like the mascot or Mickey Mouse costumes we see at pep rallies or children’s birthday parties but has a very distinct difference, it is actually something cool…to a point.

With Sackboy of Little Big Planet showing it’s versatility left and right, it is probable this may be next year’s Halloween hit for Playstation 3 fans. It may actually become so popular that it will be used at costume parties, for people can’t wait too long, but maybe some other variation will be made. For example, the Street Fighter Sackboy or Snake Sackboy Costume.

The PS3 Little Big Planet Sackboy Character may have had the costume stolen from a non credited artist. As shocking and outrageous as this is, the suspicion is justified.

Sony held a design Competition for Little Big Planet prior to its release and the Sackboy character which we are familiar with today has some similarities to a non-winning design entry. Could this be true? Could Sony have stolen a design without providing credit?

Take a look at the images and make your own judgment about whether SOny has taken a design that is not theirs. Based on these pics, I think the artist may have stolen from Disney. Doesn’t it look inspired by Stitch?

PS3 Little Big Planet is finally up and ready open with pre-order codes. For those Playstation 3 fans that have been anticipating and waiting for it to arrive, the time is now.

One example we previously presented was a PS3 Tetris Like Video Game that simply shows the ability and subtle features Little Big Planet provides to the fans and individuals.

In short, Little Big Planet is a creation platform for PS3 gamers, where you may develop, control and create new worlds using what’s provided and characters allotted. Still seems like endless possibilities.

Tetris, the classic game that seems to contaminate everyone’s hearts, minds and time in the past says hello again in Little Big Planet. This new version shows more interactivity and abilities than simply letting blocks drop. No more rearranging while the blocks drop in mid-air, you are basically a Tetris personal designer. Rearrange as you wish, lift blocks, push them around, and try to find a way to make them fit.
